A man has been arrested for the rape and murder of a teenage girl which took place in Hampstead in the 1980s.
A murder inquiry was launched by the Met in 1982, after the parents of 17-year old Yiannoulla Yianni, found their daughter’s body at their family home in Belsize Road in Hampstead.
Detectives from the Homicide and Major Crime Command arrested a 56-year old man on Tuesday at an address in Golders Green on suspicion of rape and murder.
The arrest follows a match being made on the National DNA Database.
The teenager was last seen by her mother as she returned home to prepare dinner. Her parents found Yiannoulla's body when they returned from work later that day.

Since her murder the Met have made a number of local and national appeals as well as offering a significant financial reward for information. Over 1,000 witness statements have been taken and developing forensic techniques explored but despite these extensive enquiries no arrests were made.
Detective Inspector Julie Willats, of the Met's Homicide and Major Crime Command, said:
“The Met never close unsolved murders and regardless of the passage of time cases can and will be reviewed, for any new opportunities to develop previously unknown lines of enquiry, and follow-up any fresh information which has become known to us.
"Yiannoulla's family - who understandably are still devastated by the loss of their beloved daughter and sister more than three decades ago - have been fully informed of this new development.”

The man arrested remains in police custody at a north London police station at this time.
Yiannoulla’s family have been informed of this development.

Killer facing jail

A killer has been convicted of ruthlessly shooting another man in the back as he attempted to run away after a “petty" row.
Shaden Cadette, 23, was found guilty of murdering Ogarra Dixon, 24, after gunning him down in Marcella Road, Brixton, on Tuesday June 16 last year.
Mr Dixon was twice shot at as he attempted to escape, with the second bullet hitting him in the back and causing fatal chest wounds.
Police said he managed to stagger onwards “for some time” before collapsing. He was pronounced dead in hospital shortly afterwards.
Cadette had pulled out a gun following a “brief altercation” and fired at Mr Dixon as he fled.
He was arrested after being traced to a hotel next to Heathrow Airport.
Detective Chief Inspector Will Reynolds, who led the investigation, said: “I am pleased that justice has been done today.
“Cadette did what he could to thwart the investigation and may have even been planning to flee the country as he was caught hiding in a hotel next to Heathrow.
“Although he has never revealed what sparked this fatal confrontation, it is believed to be a petty dispute which has escalated and led to Ogarra’s untimely death.
“This case serves as a reminder of the havoc and misery gun carime can bring to the capital’s streets.
“I hope today’s verdict goes some small way to helping Ogarra’s family and loved ones move on from this awful episode. I would like to thank those who came forward and provided information.”
Cadette, of Marcella Road, faces a life sentence after being convicted at the Old Bailey.
